208 A Monograph of Culicidae. 
Observations.—Described from a single perfect 9 taken in 
the Red Hills, Kingston, by Dr. Grabham. 
It is closely related to C. flavipes, Macquart, but can be told 
from it by the absence of the two thoracic lines and by the 
longer stem to the first sub-marginal cell. From C. fatigans, 
which it also superficially resembles, it can at once be told by the 
minute hair-like curved thoracic scales. It comes near the 
African Culex masculus, Theobald, in the table (Vol. IL, p. 118), 
having an unadorned thorax, to which it is also closely related, 
but separated again by the minute thoracic scales.
